I started making bags Out of necesity. I was way into cycling, but there was not much of a community in columbus. I didn't really have the luxury of checking out all these different bags. I was able to check out a reload and i thought "i could make this better". Man, i was in for a surpirse. I launched into it, and realized how hard it is to make a good bag. I spent thousands (literally thousands) of hours in between work/school and all weekend making bags and researching materials (nearly all of this time was unpaid). After a few years of extremely hard work and being humbled, I was finally able to jump into it fulltime. Now i have a cool workshop, three employees, and plans of opening a store in the beginning of the summer! I feel really lucky. It has been amazing, but i will say that I am working harder than i ever have at anything. Finally those thousands of hours are paying off.
